McDonald's Is Launching Pumpkin Chocolate Fries in Japan

Fall is the time for pumpkin-flavored everything, and there's no way French fries weren't getting invited to that party. McDonald's has announced it is bringing "McChoco Fries" with a pumpkin and chocolate sauce to Japan this month.

According to a company press release, the sweet-and-savory side will go on sale starting September 28 through October 31. While the actual taste is still a mystery, it's safe to say the fries are in the Halloween spirit with their orange and black look.

This isn't the first time the company has experimented with an innovative menu in other countries. Regular "McChoco Fries" (without the pumpkin) were a big hit in Japan when they were first introduced back in January. McDonald's also introduced truffle fries to Singapore stores in October 2015, and a sweet-potato trial went down well with customers around the world.

But sadly, these PSL fries look to be limited to Japan only. But who knows: Maybe if it's a hit in Japan, we'll be seeing spooky fries in the States next year.
